CHELSEA BY NUMBERS Our last defeat was 24 games ago when we lost to Atletico Madrid at Stamford Bridge in April. Chelsea remain the only unbeaten team in all four divisions this season. The Blues are six points up on the corresponding league fixtures from last season. We have gained nine points from losing positions this season. Seven players have started every Premier League game for Chelsea this season. Our last away defeat in the Barclays Premier League was at Selhurst Park in March. Since then we have won seven games - at Swansea, Liverpool twice, Cardiff, Burnley, Everton and Crystal Palace, and drawn at Manchester City, Manchester United and Sunderland.

Our last away defeat came at Paris Saint-Germain on 2 April. THE MAN IN THE MIDDLE Martin Atkinson is the referee for his second Blues game of the season. He was the official in our 2-0 home win against Arsenal in October. Nemanja Matic is suspended (one match) for reaching five yellow cards. Cesc Fabregas is one yellow card away from a domestic suspension. He would miss our game against Hull next week if he is booked at Newcastle.
